Coral Gables, Florida plumbing service companies such as Eco 1 Plumbing address the strong importance of post-disaster drain cleaning efforts to eliminate dangerous debris.
-- Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the federal government alone spent more than $120 billion in emergency relief, with it not being unusual for local state and federal governments to pour billions of dollars into recovery efforts after a disaster. Taking into consideration that, in just one year, there have been a total of eight weather events in the U.S. that created over a billion dollars in damage, Florida plumbing service companies like Coral Gables-based Eco 1 Plumbing have been addressing drain cleaning as a critical part of disaster cleanup, citing the fact that after a hurricane, flood or tornado, potable water service and sewage lines must be brought back into operation.
“Restoring normal plumbing after a disaster can be more difficult than expected because of the copious amount of mud and debris that finds its way into the sanitary sewer system,” says Eco 1 owner/master plumber Norberto Borgeat. “Our team of local plumber experts have all been witness to contractors and property owners pressure-washing mud and debris off affected areas after a disaster, but we seldom think about where all that muddy water is going - most of it goes down an existing drain, and when sewer and drain systems are built, plumbers often make assumptions about the volume of liquid the pipes will be required to transport.”

According to professionals like Borgeat, plumbers routinely over-engineer sewage systems to avoid wastewater spillage, and since this logic applies to all drains - from the smallest to the largest - there usually is not much danger that workers with pressure washers will overwhelm the sewage system capacity to handle liquid. With flood waters, it becomes another story, says Borgeat, with it not being uncommon for sewage systems to suffer considerable damage during a natural disaster.
“This damage can open the door for debris clogs and root incursions that can render the system inoperable,” he adds. “Another huge problem we’ve seen during our years of plumbing company operations is the enormous quantity of mud that enters the waste removal system immediately after a flood; some of the mud enters the system during the flood, and almost as much is washed down the nearest drain by the cleanup crew. If all the soil that is suspended in the mud reached the sewage treatment plant, it would be a big problem in itself.”
Because local drain cleaning activity skyrockets after a natural disaster, the services of a plumber or professional drain cleaner will be needed, as does the need for drain cleaning machinery. Beyond snake-style devices, explains Borgeat, high-pressure water jetters, inspection and location equipment and flexible shaft devices are often employed, with all these machines boasting slightly different functions and benefits during the affected area’s recovery.
“Plumbers, like the pros employed by Eco 1, would definitely argue that repairing the drain system is the most important piece of the disaster cleanup process,” concludes Borgeat.
